A group of people in the village carried hoes, sickles, flashlights.

Xu Feng and Ah Meng also walked in this team.

The three brothers of the Hu family leaned next to Xu Feng, holding the hoe and shovel tightly in their hands, their whole bodies were a little tense, looking back and forth.

“…… Everyone get closer, don't fall behind, the fog around is getting bigger and bigger, and you can't see anyone after a while. If anyone sees something or something, shout quickly, and don't stop alone! ”

The old man surnamed Qian led the way and walked in the front. In the group, the older one greeted again and admonished.

Someone answered, someone nodded, and then moved closer to the team, holding a flashlight, sweeping around, all a little nervous.

The team that went up the mountain to find people left the courtyard of the Hu family and crossed the village road.

Follow the ridges in the fields at the foot of the mountain, and walk in the direction of the foot of the mountain that Lao Qian said.

I was afraid that the group of people would stretch too long along the ridge, and they didn't care about stepping on the crops on the edge of the ridge and gathered together.

It's just that the closer you get to the foot of the mountain, the thicker the fog around you,

Even if there is a flashlight shining on it. But the flashlight only extends a short distance forward,

It was blocked by the thick fog and the night, and it was drowned out, and only the thick fog could be seen in front of it, drifting in the dark night.

Leaving this small place where the group gathered, there was nowhere to be seen.

Along the ridges,

Before reaching the foot of the mountain, no one shouted for the person they were looking for, and no one spoke out loud.

In the dense fog around, no insects and birds could be heard, and it seemed that only a group of them was left, and only a group of people could be heard stepping on the ridges and fields of the fields, which was a little depressing.

"The Taoist ......"

Probably nervous, the second child of the Hu family couldn't help but look at Xu Feng again after looking around in a circle.

He shouted softly, wanted to ask something, wanted to say something, but in the end he said everything.

But he was still nervous, and as he walked, he looked at the fog around him.

“…… The front is there. My son said that he was ploughing the field at the foot of the mountain, and it just disappeared. ”

Against the thick fog, the group arrived at the field at the foot of the mountain,

In the field, the soil is half-turned, and nothing has been planted yet.

Someone shone the flashlight in his hand, and the owner could only see a small area nearby, and in the distance, it was still shrouded in dense fog.

"Alright, then we'll go up the mountain from here."

It is said that the mountain is already near, but under the thick fog, the mountain is still not visible.

The group walked through the fields at the foot of the mountain, and after some distance, they saw the outline of the mountain.

At the edge of this field, there is a winding path up the mountain,

It is a dirt road that people step on, and the dirt road winds upwards and is quickly submerged in a thick fog, making people feel like they don't know where it leads.

“…… Go up the mountain, everyone be careful, shout if there is anything...... From now on, everyone will also shout out to the son of the old Qian family to see if they can hear it. ”

“…… The boss of the Qian family...... The Qian family's ...... Money is famous......"

The team walked along the winding dirt road into the depths of the mountain forest.

At the same time, they shouted around.

With the sound, it finally relieved some of the previously dead and oppressive atmosphere, but it was a relief.

It's just that occasionally when everyone happens to stop shouting, the sudden, more depressing dead silence makes people feel even more hairy.

“……”

In the interval between shouting again, the dead silence around couldn't help but make the group stop one after another.

“…… Something isn't right. Why is there not even a single bird cry in the mountains and forests. ”

Most people sensed that something was wrong when they went up the mountain, but in this dead silence, no one said anything.

At this time, a middle-aged man in the team looked around, but he couldn't help but say.

"Maybe it's the weather. With such a thick fog, and at night, maybe the insects and birds are hiding......"

"Thank you, please ......"

Someone in the team replied, and the one who had been walking in the front, the old man surnamed Qian also turned his head and waved towards the group of people.

"Hey...... Let's go further...... Maybe the Qian kid just got lost and didn't go far. ”

"Hmmm......"

After a brief pause, the group walked on.

It's just that as I went deeper and deeper into the forest, the path that had been walked out by people before was gone.

The group could only take a sickle and hoe, push down some small bushes, and walk on.

“…… Cut down all the bushes by the roadside...... Leave a way out, don't find someone for a while, we can't find the way back again, such a foggy day. ”

"Sassy ......"

Just when someone in the team spoke,

Suddenly, there was a distinct sound of squirming movements,

It was clearly not the movement of the surrounding bushes in the group, but from some position at the front of the group.

"Who? Who's there! ”

"Something!"

Originally, when I went up the mountain, the group of people under the dense fog here was extremely nervous.

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly.

"Sassy ......"

After another commotion in front, it fell silent.

The group froze nervously in place and clenched the sickle and hoe in their hands.

After a while, I didn't see anything coming, and I didn't see any other movement, so I slowly walked forward again.

“…… Maybe it's some brute thing passing by...... There are so many of these things in the mountains and forests. ”

Someone speaks as if to comfort themselves and others.

It's just that if it's really a beast...... They should have heard it, but when they entered the woods, they didn't even hear a bird's call.

The group was vigilant, moving forward little by little.

I probably got to the place where the movement came from earlier, but I only saw the ordinary bushes, and I didn't see any animals.

"Maybe I've already run away."

The group breathed a sigh of relief and moved on.

"Let's go ahead and shout and see if we can find ......"

"Qian boy...... Money is famous! ”

The three brothers of the Hu family, closer to Xu Feng, seemed to rely on Xu Feng to make them feel a little safe in this thick fog.

"Dao Chief...... In this thick fog, will it ......?"

The third elder of the Hu family heard his two brothers describe the events of last night, and at this time, he looked nervously at the dense fog around him, and asked Xu Feng in a low voice.

"It's okay ......"

Xu Feng glanced at the fog and night around him, shook his head, and then looked at the old man surnamed Qian who led the way in front of the team.

"Hmmm......"

Listening to Xu Feng's words, the three brothers of the Hu family were obviously relieved.

But he still held the farm tool in his hand, and kept following the team at his feet, while looking around.

The rest of the team is pretty much the same.

In the dense fog that cannot be seen around here, no one knows what is hidden.

The occasional glance at the outline of a tree branch can frighten people.

Xu Feng looked at the old man surnamed Qian who led the way, but he was a little curious about where this old man surnamed Qian would lead these people.

Turning back again, Xu Feng glanced behind him, in the direction he came.

……

Down the mountain, in the village.

Most of those who stayed behind were women and children, and old people who were too old to go up the mountain to find people.

In the courtyard of the Hu family, the incandescent lamps are still bright, illuminating the entire courtyard.

Under the incandescent light, most of the people who remained in the village were also in the courtyard at this time.

The dishes of the banquet have been served on the table with the help of a group of people, and a group of people are eating dinner around a few tables.

It's just that there are a few tables of guests missing, and there are a few empty tables next to them,

The people in the village who didn't follow to find someone didn't have much to eat at this time.

Occasionally, someone spoke, and most of the time it was a loved one who was a little worried about their way up the mountain, looking out into the thick fog outside the yard.

“…… At this time, they should have gone up the mountain, I don't know if they have found that kid from the Chen family......"

"That bastard boy is really, he turns over the ground all his life, it's such a fog, what are you doing running up the mountain...... It's just ...... here."

At the dining table, someone looked out of the courtyard worriedly.

The dense fog made it impossible to see farther outside the yard in the yard, and the foot of the mountain that could be seen during the day could not be seen at this time.

“…… It's such a fog, and it's night, if you spend the night on the mountain, then ......"

Someone didn't speak, and then stopped talking.

The eldest daughter of the Hu family who stayed behind and the daughter-in-law of the Hu family also sat at this table.

Holding their rice bowls, most of the time they are looking out of the courtyard, knowing what happened last night, they are more worried than others.

In this foggy mountain, maybe there are some evil and weird things.

“…… I guess I can find it...... The Qian family also grew up in the village, and if he got lost in the mountains, he knew that he wouldn't run around anymore, so he shouldn't be able to walk deep into the forest. ”

However, listening to the worried words of the people at the table, as the owner of this place, he still spoke out to comfort him.

"Hey, what did you say he was doing in the mountains......

The one who spoke earlier sighed again.

"Maybe there's something."

The eldest daughter of the Hu family answered, and then turned her head to look out of the courtyard.

It's just that at this time,

Outside the courtyard, from far and near, it seemed that a figure suddenly came.

The figure ran in a hurry, and at first only saw a little flashlight in the thick fog,

When I got closer, I heard footsteps, and I saw the outline of Dao's figure.

"Huh?"

When the figure came to the light, he saw the man who came,

“…… Can you help...... My dad got lost! ”

The figure was a young man, who ran into the courtyard, looked at the people in the courtyard, and shouted anxiously while panting,

There was still sweat on his forehead.

“…… Aunt Hu...... Sister Chen...... What about Uncle Hu...... I wanted to ask them for a favor and find my dad, who was gone. ”

In the anxious cry of this young man,

There were several tables sitting in the courtyard, and the people were silent.

Then, with a bang, several tables of people stood up one after another.

"Money is famous, what do you say. Aren't you lost, why are you here? ”

A group of people, with all kinds of emotions, stared at the person who came.

This man is saying that the lost money is famous.

When the people of the Hu family remembered what happened last night, their hairs immediately stood up,

Staring at this money and fame, the eldest daughter of the Hu family questioned, but did not step forward, but stepped back.

"I'm lost, I'm lost...... I've always been in the village, huh? ”

Qian Youming's face was still a little inexplicable, and he felt strange when he looked at the attitude of the people in the courtyard towards him.

So he hurriedly asked,

"What's wrong? It's my dad who got lost, I've always been there! Uncle Hu, what about them, what about them, why haven't they anymore. ”

"What happened?"

"Your dad just came, and he said you went to the field to turn the ground, and you got lost. Take you, Uncle Hu, and they will go up the mountain to find you. ”

"How is it possible, I haven't been out for a day today, what kind of ground did I go to, it was my father who went to the foot of the mountain to turn the ground. As a result, he didn't come back until this evening.

I hurried to look for it, but the man was not in the field, so I hurried back.

My dad just came? I haven't been out for a day, how can my dad say to come and find me? ”

Listening to the words of the eldest daughter of the Hu family, Qian Youming's face changed.

And after listening to Qian Mingming's words, the expressions of the other people in the courtyard also changed.

Still vigilantly looking at Qian Youming, and then nervously looking at the fog outside the courtyard.

Whether it is a famous father or a famous father, there must be a personal problem.

"I really haven't been out for a day, there are guests at home, and I have fried a dish for people at noon in the house. In the afternoon, I was busy, and my mom told me that my dad hadn't come back yet......"

Qian Youming stood at the edge of the courtyard, looking at the vigilant gaze of these people in the courtyard,

Said a little anxiously,

"Aunt Hu, call Uncle Hu and them quickly, and let them come back quickly! Let them hurry back! ”

"The phone can't get through, when your father said he came to you, he called the police, but the police couldn't get through."

"So what to do...... How could it be ......"

Qian Youming walked back and forth on the edge of the yard even more anxiously, looking at the eyes in the yard, but he didn't come over.

The others in the courtyard were also a little anxious.

If Qian Youming's statement is true, then the old money who came just now must be lying, maybe, it is not old money.

But everyone followed them up the mountain, and now these women, children, and old people are left, what should they do?

Go up the mountain and look for it?

But if there is really any problem on the mountain, how can these women, children, and old people go up the mountain?

“…… Don't panic, let's be here...... With so many of them, something may not necessarily happen...... The Taoist is still there......"

"Even if there is something in the fog, they are all physically strong, and they may not dare to do anything to them...... It's ...... of us."

The eldest daughter of the Hu family was also a little flustered, and her three brothers all went up the mountain.

If the old money leading the way is fake, I don't know what happened now.

But he still spoke out loud, comforting the others in the courtyard.

However, halfway through the words, there was something I couldn't say.

Oh, yes.

Compared to going to the mountains of the village men, maybe the courtyard here is more dangerous now.

Thinking of what happened last night, the eldest daughter of the Hu family turned a little pale.

The other people in the courtyard also thought of it, and everyone got up and couldn't help but retreat into the courtyard and gather together.

I just want to stay away from the fog that fills the courtyard.

“…… Have you really seen my father...... How can it be...... How could he tell you that......"

"Money is famous...... Don't come here yet. But you go over there, don't lean against the side of the road......"

"Good...... Good ......"

Seeing that Qian Youming was still on the side of the road, with his back to the thick fog outside the yard,

The eldest daughter of the Hu family in the courtyard couldn't help but say again.

Qian Youming was a little restless, but when he heard this, he still responded.

Just as he raised his head and walked towards the other side of the courtyard.

But I suddenly found that there was still some noisy movement in the yard.

suddenly became dead silent, this sudden dead silence made Qian Youming frightened,

Raise your head and look at the others in the courtyard,

But he found that the other people gathered in the courtyard were all looking at him,

To be precise, it seemed to be staring at him closely, pausing for movement, his eyes widening and his face frightened.

Qian Youming looked at the expressions of these people, trembled a little, and slowly turned around.

He saw what was behind him.

A figure came out of the fog and stood behind him.

He was very familiar with this figure.

It's his father.

"Dad?"

Qian Youming shouted.

His father-like figure was still standing in front of him stunned, looking blankly.

"Dad?"

Qian Youming shouted in a trembling voice again, his feet were already trembling, and he retreated frantically.

But it's still not as fast as his father's figure.

The figure raised its head indiscriminately, and suddenly,

Qian Youming's blood was splattered on the spot.

Holding his throat weakly, he followed closely and was lifted upside down by the figure.

It's like a duck hanging on a hook from school,

Gradually, there was no movement.

"Ah...... Help ......"

"Don't panic...... We were in ...... together."

"Pop ......"

The lights in the yard went out,

The courtyard, which was still lit, suddenly melted into the darkness.

The fog that filled the area seemed to linger for a long time.

Immediately it flooded into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, a crowd of people was frightened, some knocked over the dining table and stools, and some shouted in fear,

Someone clenched the weapon they could hold in their hands.

And at this time, in the fog.

Gradually a figure stepped out, moving its limbs slowly and unhurriedly.

Following the road of the village, I walked step by step to the courtyard.

A tall figure, gradually sketching its silhouette from the dense fog.

The eldest daughter of the Hu family in the courtyard was carrying a stool, staring, and staring at the figure.

"Tiger?"

It's a colorful tiger that stands taller than a human.

The head was held high, seemingly higher than the eaves of the house behind them.

The length is more than half of the yard.

The eldest daughter of the Hu family raised her head, her face was pale,

Holding this stool in his hand, he looked so weak compared to this huge beast.

She stared at the face of the beast,

I don't know why, she actually saw joy in the eyes of this beast.

Is it happy?

Rejoice what?

Yes.

It's like a person getting a good dinner.

The eldest daughter of the Hu family raised her head in despair.

Looking at this beast, he was delighted, and gradually lowered his head.

"Ah......h

After a little more noise, the courtyard fell silent.

The beast turned its head slowly again,

He looked at the blank figures around him.

He lifted his huge head again and looked into the distance outside the village.

Raising its feet again, the beast walked slowly towards the distant mountain.

Beside it, a thick fog followed it, lingering around it.

As it paces, the fog thickens in patches of place.
